other-pokemon-games

[sweet crypt]

Though they uh

[graceful mirage]

Other than that my goats turtonator got shafted

[sweet crypt]

Kinda botched Mega Emboar

But whatever

[graceful mirage]

I would be cool with mega emboar being bad if it was at least interesting

[cloud lark]

When the mold is broken

[sweet crypt]

It looks cool

That's about all I can say about it

[graceful mirage]

Like mega victreebell probably isnt great but it does exert a unique kind of pressure no other pokemon does

So im okay with it

[cloud lark]

RIP to everyone who thought Mega Emboar would get Supreme Overlord

[sweet crypt]

The devious Pyukumuku:

[brisk hedge]

My boy Emboar will always be my GOAT, I don't care how bad it is in competitive

[sweet crypt]

(Jokes aside Innards Out is a really cool ability, yeah)

[graceful mirage]

Pyukumuku doesnr have a base hp stat big enough to be threatening

Its not exerting enough pressure

[sweet crypt]

I'd argue the issues with Pyukumuku isn't entirely the HP stat

It's also the part that it just does negative 1 damage

[graceful mirage]

It also has nothing else yeah

Pyukumuku is just a moderately annoying landmine

[sweet crypt]

Still outclasses Wailord in Singles though

Wailord is a Grade A Fraud

[graceful mirage]

Victreebell is one you either have to sacrifice a strong pokemon for or you need to basically let it survive and be annoying for awhile so you dont ohko it

[sweet crypt]

170 HP and it still manages to be frail

[graceful mirage]

Meanwhile victreebell is clicking sleep powder or sludge bomb or strength sap

[cloud lark]

Part of me is kinda hoping for Mega Mewtwo Y to get a decent buff just so the Evil and Intimidating Horse doesn't render it completely useless

[sweet crypt]

It's a wonder

[graceful mirage]

Mewtwo Y is forever screwed. It requires both your restricted and your mega

[sweet crypt]

I imagine a grand total of 0 people use Mewtwo at all

[graceful mirage]

And it sadly isnt cracked enough like rayquaza who doesnt can hold an item

Honestly take mewtwo out of the restricted category at this point

Hes clearly not in that weight class

[sweet crypt]

Mewtwo's very dated

[graceful mirage]

Mewtwo is in fucking heatrans weight class not groudons

[sweet crypt]

It had a few generations as a top mon, but its prime has passed

[cloud lark]

"We dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pokémon. It got murdered by a horse."

[graceful mirage]

Tbf everyone gets murdered by that horse

Its a strong horse

[sweet crypt]

Evil and intimidating Horse > All of fiction

[graceful mirage]

Lowkey i think as the power level gets higher mega scovillain is gonna get better overall as it becomes more and more reasonable to run q support mega

[sweet crypt]

They fr let this mf into the generation where the entire gimmick is that it can change types

They let a Pokemon

[graceful mirage]

Like mega scovillain is gonna burn that fucking ice horse what are you gonna do about it

The answer is not clicking glacial lance

[sweet crypt]

Whose only weaknesses are like, Dark and Normal types

Into a generation where it can just become a Fighting type

Are we fr?

[graceful mirage]

At least they didnt let xerneas in that format

[sweet crypt]

If they let Xerneas into Gen 9 I'd lose my mind

[graceful mirage]

Imagine xerneas with literally no fucking weaknesses

[sweet crypt]

I don't want to put up with Tera Ground Xerneas spamming Fairy and Ground and me

[graceful mirage]

Cant even bring crobat anymore its gonna turn into a rock type or some shit

[sweet crypt]

I'd rather die

[graceful mirage]

At least urshifu got its ability uber nerfed

To the point mega escadrill sorta got screwed

Also in that escadrill doesnt even want to run that many contact moves anyway normally

[sweet crypt]

How many Champions nerfs do you think will make it to mainline?

[graceful mirage]

Hopefully urshifu

Although does it matter at this point

The nerfs only matter really for like competitive

[sweet crypt]

Yeah it's mainly for competitive

So that's why I'm asking

[graceful mirage]

And thats where champions is at this point

Uh maybe like the sleep changes?

[sweet crypt]

I highly doubt Protect PP nerf is making it to mainline

[sweet crypt]

I really want the Sleep and Para nerfs to make it to mainline

[graceful mirage]

Some of the move buffs maybe

[sweet crypt]

I LOATHE those stupid bullshit RNG parts of those 2 statuses

[cloud lark]

I would say the freeze nerf but I still want Frostbite

[graceful mirage]

Frostbite sorta makes sense why its not here

Like special attackers are balanced vs physical attackers in some pretty specific ways

Assault vest and special burn like why even bother

[sweet crypt]

Idk, Physical attackers have to put up with Burn and most of them also have to deal with contact effects like Flame Body, Static, Iron Barbs etc

I don't think AV and Blissey make up for that

[cloud lark]

I say this as someone who's top 5 favorite Pokémon are all Special attackers; they've had it too good for too long

[sweet crypt]

Scald is also a fucking annoying move to be facing as a physical attacker

And I'd rather have Special Burn than Instantly Fucking Kills You 10% Of The Time

[graceful mirage]

I mean thats why they removed from like 90% of the pokemon who had it

[cloud lark]

The remaining 10 percent are still nuisances a lot of the time

[sweet crypt]

Because holy shit I swear Freeze always lasts so fucking long

[graceful mirage]

Who its like what volcanion, milotic and like polteageist

[sweet crypt]

It never ends early it feels

[graceful mirage]

It ends guaranteed at 3 turns now

[sweet crypt]

Fr?

[graceful mirage]

25% chance to thaw each turn

Yeah

[sweet crypt]

I don't think that stacks

[graceful mirage]

It doesnt

Its 25% every turn

1/4 until turn 3 where its guaranteed

[cloud lark]

I also feel like you can't say special attackers don't have it better than phys attackers when the most decorated Pokémon in VGC history has Intimidate

[sweet crypt]

So they turned it into what Sleep was like before basically?

[graceful mirage]

Pretty much

[sweet crypt]

Still shitty

But like

Better than before I guess

[graceful mirage]

Lowkey paralysis nerfs mightve been overdoing it at this point thunderwave is basically single target electroweb

[sweet crypt]

Nah fuck that full para bullshit

I will NOT be missing being unable to do jack shit as I watch my opponent set up in front of my own 2 eyes

[cloud lark]

I would one day like a status to exist that makes Marvel Scale more worth using that wouldn't turn Ursaluna into more of a monster than it already is

[sweet crypt]

Partially because there's still a 1/8 chance for that to happen

Unless I'm remembering the numbers wrong

[graceful mirage]

Those numbers are correct

[sweet crypt]

And 1/8 is more likely than missing Play Rough

And I miss Play Rough almost always

So I'm still getting Full Parad as my opponent sets up in my face

[graceful mirage]

I keep having rock slide miss my mega scovillain and its so sad every time

[sweet crypt]

Why is Play Rough 90% even?

What, was the 90 BP and 10% chance to lower Attack too broken?

[graceful mirage]

To make up for moonblast have 95 power for some reason

[sweet crypt]

Did it need a way to balance it out?

[cloud lark]

I guess Gamefreak just decided they want special Fairies to be better

[sweet crypt]

Moonblast got nerfed

[graceful mirage]

Oh shit fr

Finally

[sweet crypt]

So by law of equivalent exchange

They should now buff Play Rough

But they didn't

And I bet they won't even give it to Koko or Bulu when they return

[graceful mirage]

Yeah but i did get 100bp first impression

[sweet crypt]

Because why would we give our physical Fairy types the physical fairy move?

[cloud lark]

Physical Fairies are in a marginally better position than physical electrics

[sweet crypt]

Idk, it's close

[graceful mirage]

So lorb durant can finally ohko whimsicott with first impression which is peak

[sweet crypt]

Play Shart vs Supershit Slam and Wack Charge

I have 0 respect for all 3 of these moves

[cloud lark]

Supercell slam to me is Gamefreak's admission that they want phys electric Pokémon to suffer and have nothing good unless it's Zeroaura or a Pikaclone

Seriously, what good reason is there for Zing Zap to have such shit distribution

Nobody even uses Togedemaru or Pincurchin unless they're really desperate to make the future Paradoxes batter

[oak hazel]

Last look at the collection before going to sleep :)

[arctic idol]

Didn't expect this guy to be banned

[worthy jungle]

Bro had so much hate for getting a mega he showed us 😭💀

[coarse estuary]

pros and cons of this wedlocke so far are pros, lots of female pokemon are showing up as encounters and ive not had any truely bad pairs yet. cons because most of my mons are showing up female it rules out some female only species from being encounters and 85% of the natures so far are so bad. though things can turn around im only 1 badge in

[sweet crypt]

I mean, the ability is busted

It's just that Scovillain's stats are giga ass

Put that ability on a good mon and it goes crazy

Scovillain is still a fraud in Singles

And the ability is still broken

[twilit ridge]

I was searching for an alpha tynamo for a full team of alpha pokemon and got a full odds shiny yk what I think it's okay to have one exception to the team

[twilit ridge]

BRO OUT OF NOWHERE ANOTHER FULL ODDS SHINY (furfrou)

All of this but not for the dialga hunt 💔

[jolly pendant]

Are there any decent pmd fangames out there

[smoky gyro]

Miss, miss, and miss

[smoky gyro]

What is a pmd

[jolly pendant]

Pokemon mystery dungeon

[spare hare]

sifyro on reddit

[smoky gyro]

3 in a row-

[coarse viper]

Hurricane without Rain? Thats in you

[smoky gyro]

Why tf is this a thing-

Its a shiny it doesnt matter-

[oak hazel]

Comedy

[lucid zephyr]

Gadir Deluxe is awesome

[oak hazel]

It grows ever stronger

[winged lotus]

I lost because my opponent hit 5 hurricanes in a row yesterday, hurricane is cruel and unusual

[graceful mirage]

I mean putting spicy spray on a pokemon with real stats js obviously busted

M scovillain is pretty solid even with bad stats

With mix and mega imagine putting that ability on like clefable

Who else is a super bulky redirector again

[arctic idol]

-# meanwhile I'm here thinking if Extrassensory on Roserade is worth it to OHKO Sneaslers while dying to the rest of the Fire, Psychic, Steel Meta mons

Perish trap them Lol

Don't need to touch them to kill them with this

[sweet crypt]

Mix and Mega is Singles oriented

So redirecting isn't a thing

[graceful mirage]

Im too doubles pilled i guess

Aight give spicy spray to like chansey or something then

[sweet crypt]

Clefable is still a great utility mon but a lot of it comes down to Magic Guard being one of the most stupid abilities ever made

[sweet crypt]

If you're holding the Mega Stone, then just give it to Blissey

[lucid zephyr]

Played 40% of all Games.

[smoky gyro]

So

How much does spread moves bp get reduced by

When it is spread

My instinct says half but surely no ones gonna run a 40 bp move just cause its spread

[sweet crypt]

I don't think people run 40 BP moves in general

Unless it's like

Some sort of utility

[smoky gyro]

Jet on palafin

[sweet crypt]

Like priority or something

[smoky gyro]

But anyways thats besides the point

I wanna know how much it halves by

[sweet crypt]

Jet Punch is 60 BP

L bozo

[smoky gyro]

Dafuq

That

Doesnt seem fair

[sweet crypt]

Anyways I'm pretty sure it reduces it to 75%

[smoky gyro]

So 60 bp from an 80 bp move

Thats

Not too bad not too good

[sweet crypt]

Well, they aren't gonna make a signature move that has the same stats as Aqua Jet, are they?

[smoky gyro]

Theyre gonna give it to another pokemon someday anyways signature moves rarely last forever

[sweet crypt]

Idk, Volt Tackle's still signature

As is fucking

Idk

Kinesis

[smoky gyro]

Tf is kinesis

That sounds like an abra move

[sweet crypt]

Uhh

Bonemerang

[smoky gyro]

+1 sp.def thats my guess

[sweet crypt]

It's like Flash, except even more dogshit

[smoky gyro]

Okay nvm lmao

[smoky gyro]

Does lucario know it

Am I mistaken

Or is my brain just rotted with fan games

[sweet crypt]

It knows Bone Club

[smoky gyro]

Oh club

[sweet crypt]

At least I'm p sure it does

[smoky gyro]

It knows A bone move

I just forgot which it was

[sweet crypt]

I think they gave Lucario Bone Club entirely because of the anime lmao

Because I'm pretty sure it didn't have that move yet in Gen 6

Fairy Lock, Forest Curse, Trick Or Treat, King's Shield, Flying Press

Y'know, I will give you one thing

[smoky gyro]

Mat block

[sweet crypt]

A lot of the signatures that are still signatures are either niche or dogshit

[smoky gyro]

Idk why that just came to mind

[sweet crypt]

Or they're on Legendaries

Like Pblades

Dascent

[smoky gyro]

Which also means water shuriken also

[sweet crypt]

Geomancy

Etc

[smoky gyro]

Is floette a legendary-

Lmao

[sweet crypt]

That's one of the rare cases of it being neither

Technically Light of Ruin has been signature since Gen 6

But is being the signature of an unobtainable Pokemon really counted?

Spirit Shackle is also a signature

[smoky gyro]

Ceaseless

Stone axe

[sweet crypt]

And it's good based purely on the fact that Physical Ghost moves that aren't horrible are hard to come by

[sweet crypt]

Those moves are really new though

[smoky gyro]

Fair

[cloud lark]

Shout out to Kinesis

Arguably the most worthless move of all time

[sweet crypt]

Fun fact: Kyogre is 4.5 m long and weighs 352 kg

A large male orca can be around 10 m long and weighs a bit over 10 tons

The orca is over 2 times longer and 28 times heavier

[smoky gyro]

God of the seas btw:

And probably faster too

Kyogre is so fucking slow-

[sweet crypt]

90 Speed ain't that bad

[smoky gyro]

To me anything below 100 is bad

[sweet crypt]

And I can't think of any in-game showings of speed

[smoky gyro]

For the attacking stats too

[sweet crypt]

Am I dreaming?

Because I just saw someone say Steel/Bug is great offensively and horrible defensively

And that shit can't be real

[coarse viper]

That is definetly a troll cuz i am sure that shit is backwards

[sweet crypt]

It most definitely is

[coarse viper]

Steel/Bug has like..only 4x to fire..offensively?..I mean i guess if you hate fairies sure

[sweet crypt]

Steel/Bug is a combination of the worst offensive type in the game and another subpar offensive type

And is also an arguable top 5 defensive type

[coarse viper]

Scyzor carrying that typing offensively on its back with Technician I guess

[sweet crypt]

Is there a single type you could argue for top 5 defensive that doesn't involve the Steel type?

Water/Fairy maybe?

Idk

[coarse viper]

Idk? Ghost/Fairy? Only 2 weaknesses

Sure there is no mon with it xD

[sweet crypt]

Ghost/Fairy is lacking in resistances

[coarse viper]

As far as I know at least

[sweet crypt]

Fucker Mane

[coarse viper]

Oh..ngl yeah I legit blocked that mon from my head lol

[sweet crypt]

Ghost/Fairy is definitely not bad defensively but the lack of resists ensures it isn't Top 5

With that said it's like

[half dirge]

the best typ is Rock/Ice Trust

[sweet crypt]

The 2nd best offensive type combo

I'd say that Ghost/Fairy is the overall best type in the game, bar none

[coarse viper]

Then yeah if you account for a top 5 defensively Steel is involved in all of them tbh

[sweet crypt]

You could make an argument for Water/Fairy, methinks

But apart from that, it's like

[half dirge]

and the best type would be Steel/Fairy, theres legit nothing that comes close

[coarse viper]

Maybe just Pure electric? Not really a type combo per say but yeah

[sweet crypt]

My main issue is that it just

Isn't good enough offensively

[half dirge]

Thats the neat part

[sweet crypt]

It's a top 3 defensive type, sure

[half dirge]

all pkmn that have that typing are aggresive af

[sweet crypt]

But it falls a bit short on the offensive side

[coarse viper]

Steel/Fairy short of non stab coverage moves its like..not really gonna do much to fire

[sweet crypt]

And I'm talking the types themselves, not their Pokemon

So I don't see how that matters

Also, Klefki

[half dirge]

then Dark/Fire

[sweet crypt]

Once again, I'm talking the type

Not the Pokemon

[coarse viper]

Makes Fairy neutral hits Fairy for neutral still nuked by water

[sweet crypt]

If we're talking Pokemon, the best type is Ghost/Psychic, and that just feels wrong

[coarse viper]

Isn't that like a 4x weakness to Dark?

[sweet crypt]

Because genuinely being a Psychic type is Calyrex's only weakness

[supple basalt]

Two quad weaknesses lol

[sweet crypt]

I'm being deadass

[coarse viper]

With how popular Knock off and Sucker Punch are i am not sure the typing itself is op as much as the mon that its attached to it being bullshit

[sweet crypt]

Psychic is one of the worst types to pair with Ghost

[supple basalt]

I mean Calyrex Shadow Rider wouldn't be so widely used if it wasn't a good pokemon

[sweet crypt]

Exactly

[sweet crypt]

It is, don't get me wrong

It's just sure as hell not because it's a Psychic type

Psychic type is like, the Number 1 Pokemon merchant

[coarse viper]

Lunala is also Ghost/Psychic so thats fun

[sweet crypt]

Legit Bottom 5 type

[half dirge]

meanwhile bug over there

dying

[coarse viper]

I mean its in the name

[sweet crypt]

I'd honestly argue Psychic is a Bottom 2 type

It's so sad because Psychic is my 2nd favourite type

(My favourite type is Bug 💀 )

[half dirge]

Psychic also only has like Insane Pkmn

[coarse viper]

Doesnt help that they made 2 typings just to deal with Psychics xD

[sweet crypt]

Mfw my 2 favourite types are the 2 worst types

[coarse viper]

People like to talk about Fairy existing to wall off Hydreigon but genuinely forget Psychics we're so cracked they made 2 new typings to wall them off xD

[half dirge]

yeah but

Fairy is insane

and completely destroys Dragons

like they cant do shit, and all Fairy Pkmn are crazy good

[coarse viper]

I mean yeah the same way Dark destroys Psychic

[half dirge]

but Dark isnt as good as Fairy

[sweet crypt]

See, the thing is

Dragons get coverage for Fairy more often than Psychic get coverage for Dark

[coarse viper]

Definetly true but I will say outside of like Draco meteor I dont think lots of people were using dragon moves anyway

[sweet crypt]

Outrage once upon a time used to be much safer to click

Since the only thing that would be able to take one is a Steel type

And Steel types at the very least don't hit Dragon for SE

[coarse viper]

The reason Hydreigon gets absolutely shafted by fairies is due to him taking 4x damage to it..plus dragons have that Archulodon..or whatever he is called these days

[sweet crypt]

You can still be revenged by a fast Ice type, but Ddance does somewhat help with that

[coarse viper]

Psychic only has like Medicham line I think

[half dirge]

Hydreigon my fav Pkmn qwq

[sweet crypt]

Fairy types see you click Outrage, and they know they get a free kill on you

[coarse viper]

There is also a Psychic bug...its an ass mon but its there

[arctic dawn]

where to download the hoenn version?

[sweet crypt]

Also, I moreso meant like

Coverage

Not STAB

[arctic dawn]

is it playable in joiplay

[sweet crypt]

The most Psychic types get is maybe they'll get like

Focus Blast or Dgleam or something

Focus Blast is inaccurate and Dgleam is weak

Dragons just get a bunch of random bullshit in their arsenal

[coarse viper]

Also you need stats to make coverage moves without stabs to be worth their salt or you just die anyway

Most dragons have very good atk or spatk stats

...most psychic...

[sweet crypt]

I guess tbf if we want to get really technical, I don't think they do get anything that is higher BP than Dgleam, but they do get it more often

[coarse viper]

Also they just straight up made Kingabit

Like...bruh

[sweet crypt]

I think the most important part is that Dragon is still a good type

It has a strong defensive profile even now

And actually doesn't get stopped offensively by too many things

Since Steel and Fairy are both rarer types

[coarse viper]

Also most dragons get ground coverage moves so like..Steel is kinda neat i guess

[sweet crypt]

The types that stop Psychic are far more common than the ones that stop Dragon

And Psychic is also just

Ass defensively

[coarse viper]

2x from ghost/Bug/Dark.
If you wanna see a fighting type dead i guess you could do that

If the new fighting types will not be absurdly faster

Okay my mind just went to Urshifu but that feels unfair

[sweet crypt]

Psychic provides a weakness to 2 types that have extremely spammed moves, one of which is actually good offensively in general

And then also a weakness to a contender for best offensive type in the game

[coarse viper]

Ghost has some crazy moves yeah

[sweet crypt]

And then the only non-self resist you get is Fighting

Sure, Dragon also has some big weaknesses

Ice is an amazing offensive type and Fairy is an amazing type in general

[coarse viper]

But they usually get the tools to cover themselves

[sweet crypt]

But its resistances are actually worth a shit

Fire, Water, Grass and Electric

Grass is more niche but the other 3 are amazing resists to have

[coarse viper]

Electric is a pretty mad typing to have by itself

There is a reason every electric type with Levitate must have ass stats

[sweet crypt]

There is one thing I will say about Electric

[vague haven]

So I found an emulator for pokemon black 2

[sweet crypt]

Electric types are completely HORRIBLE at dealing with types that counter Electric

They handle Ground far worse than Psychic handles Dark or Dragon handles Fairy

[vague haven]

Y'all got any recommendations for the team

[sweet crypt]

And they also just very rarely are able to break past resists either

[coarse viper]

Grounds are straight up immune and they dont get coverage moves against ground i think

[vague haven]

On average no but some get good coverage moves

[sweet crypt]

Electric types barely ever are able to break past even just Grass or Dragon types

Like it's genuinely absurd how limited the coverage of most Electric types is

[coarse viper]

Pretty sure electivire gets the punch moves..I genuinely cant tell another

[sweet crypt]

The punch moves are pathetically weak

[coarse viper]

I guess Landmawer Rotom? But he is also part grass so idk if he should count

[cloud lark]

Electric is a type that you look at and assume it's incredible, but Gamefreak is addicted to making all Electric types either useless physical attackers with no good moves or Pikaclones with no redeemable stats. Even the exceptions have big flaws.

[coarse viper]

cries in Luxray

[vague haven]

Luxray should have been electric psychic or electric fighting

[coarse viper]

Hmm..come to think of it outside of the Regileki the only other electric type I heard lately is Rotom...and Tera Mismagius

[vague haven]

Electric needs a buff in one way or another

[coarse viper]

I am personally more subscribed to Dark/Electric

Luxray with stab crunch and giving it sucker punch will be pretty good

[vague haven]

Or we could do the dhelmise thing and give it a third stab type through an ability

[cloud lark]

It just needs good Pokémon. The type has good prospects, but Gamefreak refuses to take advantage of it because every generation needs to have its own mediocre Pikachu ripoff that will never see play

[coarse viper]

Ah something like Steelworker..I was here thinking ..does Dhelmise get Protean?

[vague haven]

The only good one was mimikyu and that wasn't even the regional Pikachu

[vague haven]

Pre nerf protean buy only on dhelmise

[coarse viper]

Honestly I will give Luxray something closer to Pixialite but for electric types

[cloud lark]

Galvanize?

[coarse viper]

Sure intimidate is crazy good..but Galvanize can be pretty good

[coarse viper]

Stealing that from now on xD

[vague haven]

They could have given that to multiple mons

Electivire

That would be a good one to have it

Regardless I want y'all's opinion real quick who should I pick as my starter in black 2

[coarse viper]

Definetly not the pig

[vague haven]

So the otter

[coarse viper]

Given Snivy is the Chikorita of its gen...yeah

Boy they really hated grass types

[vague haven]

They did my boy turtwig dirty

[coarse viper]

Wait no still hate cuz the new gens have bug as one of the first gyms lol

[vague haven]

Didn't even give my boy leafage to actually use its better attacking stat

[coarse viper]

I mean as far as turtwig is concerned he is having it pretty good first gym is straight up the rock one sure then there comes Gardenia with Roserade (I am looking at Platinum specifically here) but at that point i think you get some ground moves for neutral

[vague haven]

Honestly I might have a team planned out for black 2

I know that 3 of the members are gonna be oshawat's final evo stoutland and magnazone

Because I adore stoutland and magnazone is just peak

[coarse viper]

I have 3 members of my Legends of Arkus planned
Rapidash/Liligant Gardevoir(Shiny) all Alpha Shiny buut imo idk what else to bring in this Shiny team

Garchomp will normally be an obvious pick but uhh...the Shiny is ass

[vague haven]

Gyrados is always a good pick

I would have suggested gastrodon but it's shiny is ads

Ass

[coarse viper]

Hmm ya know I never used Shiny Gyarados (not even the free one) sure I will take that

[vague haven]

Hisuian zoroark also is pretty peak

Ursaluna also has a decent shiny

[coarse viper]

Never seen the shiny (please be good)

[vague haven]

I think it's a good shiny

If they made the hair match the fur I guess it would be even better

Here's ursalunas shiny

[coarse viper]

I will definetly take the Zoroark

[vague haven]

Its typing is also amazing

[coarse viper]

Normal/Ghost my beloved

[vague haven]

Plus it has access to frostbite as a status

[coarse viper]

Ah yes Spirit tomb has Sucker punch..sure that makes sense

[oak hazel]

Tree 🌳 🔥

[cloud lark]

Sucker Punch isn't a punching move and a bunch of other Pokémon without arms learn it, such as Thievul. It would be more apt to think of it as a cheap shot, hence its Japanese name translating to Surprise Attack

[coarse viper]

Ah..that makes more sense

Fair enough then

[oak hazel]

Honestly they should have just named it that instead

[cloud lark]

I'm gonna say it, Dark type has to be the worst translation in the entire series. It really leads a lot of people off course as to what the type is all about. So many people still think it's all about darkness powers, but that only really applies to Night Daze. Every other move falls in line with the ideas of playing dirty and using cheap tricks

[coarse viper]

Which makes sense with the translation being..evil typing

[cloud lark]

I get that the type being called evil would kinda go against the idea that there are no evil pokemon (aside from how they went back on that with stuff like Malamar) but there had to be a better way of conveying what Dark types actually are

If I was in charge of the translation, maybe something like Trickster would have fit more?

[oak hazel]

That's actually perfect

[vague haven]

I call steel the stabby type

[molten prism]

Is this fake

[lusty iris]

https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m72650226510/?srsltid=AfmBOopEarpEW8tkCt1ptvY4IVp3ReLaMZF2_ND-vfV499MODZgR31EowdM It appears to be a fan art card?

[lusty iris]

its based on the Darkness Ablaze VMAX but it shoudl be full rainbow or normal art

[oak hazel]

Been giving pokemon icons to the games that don't have their own

[vague haven]

Pokemon relict is really cool

Its not everyday you get the opportunity to kiss god

[oak hazel]

Only tree left :D

[coarse estuary]

so many ones ive neverhear of on my life lol

[oak hazel]

Yeah I think I found a mon to represent each games now :)

[frank lily]

Yes this is a shiny

[coarse viper]

Cries in Garchomp

[frank lily]

I feel like Garchomp’s gotten way better over the years. The grey’s actually noticeable now.

[smoky gyro]

This is silly lmao

[coarse viper]

Played pkm showdown against my dad and got my ass beat

Random doubles

[delicate hollow]

tell me exactly how many emerald rom hacks exist??? there are literally 100s but they all look and feel the same imo with QOL stuff and expanded national dex to include everything up to gen 9 and legends za mega evos

[cinder iron]

I think it's because of how easily rom hackable the Gen 3 games are

Fire Red used to be the most rom hacked lol

[smoky gyro]

I forgot Mold Breaker did that lmao

[smoky gyro]

What game is this

Bro wtf-

[vague haven]

The team pre second gym

I'm proud of it

For those who can't tell it's ponyta, dewott, riolu, beldum, dratini, and staravia

[mighty robin]

Add a Joltik to the team and name it Psycho, or name it King

And do N O T evolve it

[vague haven]

I'll catch one when I get to chargestone cave and name it after you don't worry

And I'll try to keep it on the team for as long as possible

[mighty robin]

Well, you can also name it King, because that’s the name of the Joltik I had in Sword

This was post-Raihan. The levels are 72, 66, 64, 64, 62, 62

[vague haven]

Yeah joltik could probably solo the rest of the game

[mighty robin]

Joltik is actually pretty strong

if it’s 30+ levels higher than the opponent

[coarse viper]

Hey Snorl I finally decided which mons i wanna make untill i beat the story

With Hisuian Zoroark as a switch in need (All Alpha of course)

[vague haven]

Peak team

[vague haven]

What's funny to me is that bitch of us are running rapidash

[coarse viper]

Lol fair xD

In my defense it is a pretty shiny

[vague haven]

Its also just good

Especially for the point of the game you get it at in the black 2 version I'm playing

[vague haven]

I nicknamed mine after a real horse

[coarse viper]

Named mine DreamBlaze cus the purple mane reminds me of a dreamy wave effect

[vague haven]

That's dope I nicknamed mine oguri cap because well it's a horse that shares my birthday

[coarse viper]

Thats super cool too

Huh a Shiny Stantler...is not Alpha but I mean Shiny xD

[neon folio]

Pokémon Eon Guardians is fun.

[mighty robin]

seems like a black and what game for latios and latias

because that’s the UI for BW/B2W2, right?

[neon folio]

Bw UI and Pokémon sprites, Gen 4 overworld look.

[vague haven]

So apparently the variant of black 2 that I'm playing made dewott and samorott water fighting types

[white jackal]

Happy launch day GOTY 10/10

10/10 game

She wouldn’t use the guillotine though. She’d have Lebanne give her enemies cancer

[lyric basin]

(yes Z is set in 1700's Kalos) they went so hard on the french stereotypes, this is what the regional Sirfetch'd looks like

[empty ingot]

wha-

No, I meant how she's part of the 1%, she's one of the elites.

She's The Rich

[proper holly]

Which Pokémon is this?

[supple basalt]

Forgot to mention these guys

[supple basalt]

Those look like less of a joke

Oh, it was too big

[harsh drift]

What trainer runs around with JUST a magikarp

[jolly pendant]

every single fishermen

[harsh drift]

It was just a random kid

Not even a fisher

[maiden flare]

I beat the switch port of pokemon leaf green tonight! this ended up being the final team.

(and yes that is my switch hooked up to a CRT cuz of course I played a good chunk of the game like that lmao)

[rich tundra]

Well that just doesn't make sense :v not an electric machine

CRT gaming is underrated

[jagged tendon]

Looking for another good pokemon fangame, specifically for doing a monotype bug run. Well done fakemon games are appreciated, or just well done in general (IF had the best of both worlds)

[lyric basin]

I know ive talked about it way too much over the last week, but i could write an essay on how good Z is

[jagged tendon]

Z?

[lyric basin]

https://pokemonzfangame.com/ The story is original, but it ties in so well with XY

[coarse viper]

Excuse me i have to use Hurricane how many times??

[smoky gyro]

Pokemon Vega

Doesn't necessarily cater to mono bug but it is in my opinion one of the best Fakemon games

I will never shut up about Vega I love the game so much

[oak hazel]

Mr.Noodle :3

[delicate hollow]

We need more open world fan games and why don't we have many with skippable cutscenes or an option to disable story dialogue and cutscenes? And what about modern mechanics and features to include every Pokemon and all Mega evolutions up to ZA Mega Dimensions exclusives?
||Also Winds and Waves starters? Too early right now lol||

[sweet crypt]

Mega Dimensions is still relatively recent in the grand scheme of things

We don't even know the abilities of most of the ZA Megas

It's a miracle that some fangames/romhacks have even added them at all

[noble zealot]

This. So many fangames (and romhacks) are overwhelmingly story-heavy, even though this is a franchise nobody plays for the story.

ROWE (essentially an open-world Emerald) does actually check all the boxes you mentioned, though it's missing a few legendaries.

[mighty robin]

Pachirisu is Alpha

[cinder iron]

Snek

[coarse estuary]

since im thinking about it, what are yalls own overused sinnoh esk mons/teams. what i mean by that is simple what are some mons or a team you always see yourself using when replaying a certain gen. (can include starter but dont have to)

[harsh drift]

Found a shiny machop in Pokémon platinum 🙏

[sullen hill]

that thing is clearly diseased. you need to put it out of its misery

[harsh drift]

Nahh

[coarse estuary]

sick. wish i was more lucky with random shiny finds

[harsh drift]

Got back to the pc and why isn't it shiny anymore

[coarse estuary]

id guess either thr rom you are playing changes its in battle sprite or you got a glitched rom

[harsh drift]

Fixed it

I think it's because I was messing with the files and added a patch to boost shiny chances afterwards because I wanted more, but ig the game didn't like that I was feeling greedy

So I just grabbed a version of the game without the patch and tadaaa, it has returned

[mild dirge]

I’ve been witnessing moves/strategies never before seen in competitive manifested out of sheer spite in champions

Rock slide imprison wide guard
Round mega beedrill with a pixilate sylveon to break focus sashes / multiscale and follow up with an immediate KO

[coarse estuary]

yeah champions has a lot of interesting strats in it because it has so many restrictions in it

[oak hazel]

[coarse estuary]

i swear most of these are made up at this point./hj

[mighty robin]

now alphabetize them

[sturdy sparrow]

Can 75 base power moves 1-shot?

[oak hazel]

Booo 👎

Also it's Space Trainers

[coarse estuary]

depends on the mon using the move, the move its self and the mon that is being hit by the move

[sturdy sparrow]

Figured guess I’ll experiment when I first try out

[jagged tendon]

What's the best pokemon fangame(s) other than IF? Looking for a game to do a monobug run in

[mighty robin]

Pokemon bug run might be the perfect option

I only know of the game, but not really where to get it, that’ll be up to you to figure out

Sorry 😔

[coarse estuary]

that is subjective since best to someone might not be best to someone else

[jagged tendon]

what're the most popular/well made pokemon fangames comparable to IF is what i really mean

like reborn, insurgence, etc

[dawn idol]

yo

anyone play pokemon violet and ould help me get a dreepy

[vague haven]

Another Costco W

[dawn idol]

do u got violet 😄

[oak hazel]

Eevee Expo has it :)

[mighty robin]

there’s also a playthrough of the game by some guy named Dan

;)

[vague haven]

No

Sorry

[terse wolf]

Are rom hacks and fan games considered other pokemon games or just mainline?

[coarse estuary]

anything that isnt pif but pokemon related counts

[terse wolf]

Gotcha. In that case, finally got my first shiny legendary in Super Mariomon

[coarse estuary]

ooh cool.

[vague haven]

Someone's made the how high will your ceiling go with mega golurk and I love it

[winged lotus]

Getting back into my Pokémon white playthrough finally

Beat clay

I think that’s his name…

Ground type gym guy

[tropic hinge]

Texan looking fella? Yeah, that's Clay.

[sweet crypt]

Volcarona in B2W2. I simply cannot resist the moth

[cloud lark]

Not one specifically, but I pretty much always use one of the Bug Pokémon in the Gen 5 games, usually Scolipede or Galvantula. All the bugs in Gen 5 are amazing and I enjoy using all of them (aside from Escavalier and Accelgor, but that's purely cause of the trade evo thing)

Also Midday Lycanroc in Sun, which I'm pretty sure is the Luxray of Gen 7 cause a lot of people talk about using it (though it's way stronger than Lux)

[coarse viper]

[delicate hollow]

How many more Fakemon fan games or rom hacks has been completed as in 100% fully playable as of 2026?

[smoky gyro]

Vega

Play it

[feral hawk]

How to get gibble

How to get gible

[delicate hollow]

There's multiple versions of the rom hack if you didn't know
First there was Minus version
Then came Fairy version which adds Fairy type
I don't know a third version unless that's all there is
||This is about Pokemon Vega by the way||

[odd mason]

how do you even get more rolls in pokerouge inifnite runs

[smoky gyro]

I did

Im a Vega fan

Theyre more or less the same thing

Base is a lot grindier

Minus makes the level scaling more like mainline pokemon

[lyric basin]

"warning: this side quest containts some mild and non-explicit elements of sexual content" uh oh

[woeful cosmos]

what.

[mighty robin]

you might not want to post that

[lyric basin]

believe me, it got worse

[mighty robin]

pokemon void is probably gonna be posted here a lot when it comes out

[coarse estuary]

well i googled it and the first pokemon void thing i found says its completed and came out in 2022

[mighty robin]

search it on YouTube

[coarse estuary]

still only finding the completed game from 2022

[mighty robin]

Pokedex fillers?

[coarse estuary]

nope never saw any title or channel with that name

[coarse viper]

Ironically I know you are talking about the guy with a dressed clodsire avatar..I also cant find nothing about that fangame tho

[mighty robin]

i think it's gonna be released in may

tho i just check the channel a few times here and there

[nimble coral]

its releasing may 2nd the first chapter

unironically my tag is the dc

[mighty robin]

the poketuber community is gonna have a field day when it releases

[cloud lark]

One of these is not like the other~

[coarse estuary]

i dont see it lol

[cloud lark]

||Grovyle instead of Sceptile||

[coarse estuary]

oh lol ok now that its pointed out i see it lol

[shut tundra]

is there anyone who can help me evolve a finizen in Sca/Vio?
i have a shiny i wanna use in champions. it will only be 2 seconds :3

zero issue if no i'm just checking any pokemon spaces im in

[mighty robin]

my response still the same

😔

[shut tundra]

thats ok lolol

[vague haven]

I don't got switch online rn if I did I would help

[shut tundra]

np np

[mighty robin]

mostly because i don't have SV

[brisk hedge]

Which of my Aegislash’s moves should I replace with King’s Shield (if any)?

[mighty robin]

either don't learn king's shield or get rid of swords dance

[small dirge]

i guessed every kanto pokemon in 11:32

[mighty robin]

guess every pokemon to ever exist in half a second

mew

cuz it got the dna of every pokemon

which means that all team rocket had to do was get the dna of every pokemon, then they can clone mew

[vague haven]

Good job

[sturdy sparrow]

My anti-sneasler plan worked woohoo

[sweet crypt]

Not bad

[sturdy sparrow]

does anyone have any reliable places to play pokemon uranium

[coarse estuary]

by downloading it from the official discord

[cloud lark]

Could be bi considering they still seem interested in getting a gf, just willing to open their options more

[dull crow]

nah swords dance is great with aegislash lets you set up while defensive

in gen 6 at least I ran that without shadow claw

[mighty robin]

well, I don’t use those moves

[supple basalt]

Having fun in endless with these two as my mains

And then everyone else is moral support

They're there for the increased Luck 😂

[coarse viper]

I mean same, I should definetly continue my quest to see where the ceiling of "Endless" is

[thorn drum]

Whats ya all fav fan games

For me its Z and unbreakable ties

[supple basalt]

PFFT I love that

[supple basalt]

Prolly PIF

[supple basalt]

I remember genuinely hating Endless the first couple times I tried because it felt so stacked against you and I couldn't play how I normally do in classic because level scaling is much less fair

[coarse viper]

Yeah you need rng on your side or enough money to bribe it to come by your side..or both

I had both and now one rare candy gives me 49 levels xD

[supple basalt]

Yeah I've been rerolling a lot. I've had bad candy jar luck (one RC is 12 levels right now) but it keeps giving me master balls so free candies for the mythicals and legends I run into

Even if the moral support are more cheerleaders still nice to get this

[coarse viper]

The average level difference between Nihi the floors and why thats the case xD

[supple basalt]

I'm up to 17 now

[coarse viper]

Noice!

My goal is to get to 100 levels per candy before I reach the end ceiling

[supple basalt]

Delphox almost soloed lol

With 5 focus bands but still

[nimble coral]

i cant even beat the normal game what the hell is this???

[supple basalt]

Endless mode. It unlocks after you defeat Classic

[coarse viper]

Hehe-

[nimble coral]

imma show my carry

ember gets replaced with flare blitz

cant beat eturnatus

whos a good set up pokemon for baton

[supple basalt]

I have never used the Baton so I honestly am unsure

Delphox is my usual etern carrier

Meowscarada with Taxel is my Ray counter

[nimble coral]

ok so finally after like 30 eggs i got d dance on hisuian growlithe do i get rid of volt tacle for it?

or go all damaging moves

does eternatus have anything that can kil shedinja?

[supple basalt]

Flamethrower

[coarse viper]

But if you find a terra electric rhen nothing

Or Normal..or anything that is not weak to dragon/poison/Fire

[supple basalt]

First time I've ever had 10 Soul Dews on a Pokémon lol

[supple basalt]

Ya'll I've almost completed the starter dex :0

[sturdy sparrow]

Is it possible to avoid the 6 given Pokemon in champions and just have a box of visitors

[sturdy sparrow]

Cool to get a private match on champions thru here or no?

[supple basalt]

HECK YEAH! On my most recent egg batch (Used a bunch of tickets because Lugia conveniently showed up) I got both Lugia and Darkrai Which theoretically means I should now be able to catch Eternatus

[sweet crypt]

As a heads up, I believe Pokerogue lowered Eternatus' catch rate

So it isn't a basically guaranteed catch

You may want to just have a master ball on hand

[supple basalt]

Yeah I figured.

Too bad it isn't catchable in Endless, that would be WAY too easy

Already at a point in Endless where if I didn't have Multi Lens I'd be fucked

[coarse estuary]

since i know my petilil will want to evolve at presicely level 26 or 27 i was wondering if the sun stone in nimbasa is the easiest and earliest to access so i know when to start using it so my petilil doesnt become so behind on levels or level to much to quick (white verison)

[smoky gyro]

Can you just not change the tera type for terapagos and ogerpon

I dont have the dlc to test it lmao

Also is flower trick the only guarantee crit move we have

[sweet crypt]

Yeah you can't

[sweet crypt]

Wicked Blow, Surging Strikes, Storm Throw, Frost Breath, Zippy Zap

[smoky gyro]

First 2 I knew just forgot

The rest I didnt

Wtf is frost breath

I know zippy zap is that lets go pikachu move

[sweet crypt]

60 BP, 90% accurate Special Ice Move with a guaranteed crit

Would be cool on a mon with Technician, but alas

[smoky gyro]

That sounds shut

shit

[sweet crypt]

Gets outcompeted by Ice Beam due to it having better accuracy

[smoky gyro]

Probably cause it is

[sweet crypt]

It's the same effective BP and Accuracy as Play Rough

[smoky gyro]

Isnt it lower bp than Ice Beam too

[sweet crypt]

And Play Rough is god awful

So yes

[smoky gyro]

Wait isnt ice beam 90 bp

[sweet crypt]

It is

[sweet crypt]

Crit means it does 1.5× more damage

So effectively a 90

[smoky gyro]

Oh wait my brain did the maths wrong

Nvm

[sweet crypt]

The non guaranteed crit moves can get random crits, but always critting means always ignoring stat boosts which is neat

[smoky gyro]

It also seems useless on storm throw

Unless its circle throw Im thinking about

That force pivots

[sweet crypt]

It is Circle Throw that causes pivots

Storm Throw is merely 60 BP perfect accuracy always crits

It's actually a good move, but has issues with distribution and competition with CC

[smoky gyro]

Isnt it still negative prio

[sweet crypt]

No

[smoky gyro]

Nvm

[coarse viper]

Decided to restart radical red as a Fairy trainer, things started better

[delicate hollow]

If the Pokopia forms were added to a fan game/rom hack what would their database be like ie base stats types abilities level up moves etc?

[heavy ibex]

is there a infinite fusion game where they have my goat scorbunny :<

[coarse viper]

Radical red misty down

[delicate hollow]

Okaaaay nobody wants a Pokopia form of every Pokemon?

Spooky Pikachu is Ghost and Mossy Slorlax is Grass

[mild dirge]

I think champions is funny cause you can’t tell if you’re opponent is giga brain or they lucked out with being stupid

The one game I didn’t lead kingambit & milotic my opponent brings out the double intimidate lead

[sturdy sparrow]

What’s the speed of a jolly charY in champions?

[mild dirge]

167

[sturdy sparrow]

I believe you but I got ptsd so part of me thinks you’re joking

[sturdy sparrow]

Thanks

[mild dirge]

It’s the same speed as regular Charizard, Mega Y doesn’t get any base speed points

[finite sky]

Behold my trash tastes (share your own trash taste with https://cajunavenger.github.io/ )

[brisk hedge]

You don't have Charizard in any of the slots, so it's not that trash

Eevee isn't a starter Pokémon though

[coarse viper]

On lists online its put on every starter list xD

Same with Pikachu

[brisk hedge]

Well they shouldn't be

Just because they're your first Pokémon in bad games doesn't make them starter Pokémon

[mild dirge]

evolution of my favorite gen 1 starter:
charmander cause cool > bulbasaur cause its the best starter > squirtle cause cool > charmander cause cool

[sullen hill]

deal with it. it's there, it counts

[brisk hedge]

There are also a bunch of random sprites in the Kanto dark section. That doesn’t make those “Pokémon” exist

[sullen hill]

it's becasue there's no gen 1 dark types. hence, it has the "missingno" and substitute sprites

it's clever

[brisk hedge]

I know that, my point is that just because something is listed in a category, doesn’t make it part of that category

[finite sky]

if I wasn't allowed to pick eevee it would be Bulbasaur

[coarse viper]

Whatever or not you consider the games mediocre hardly has any weight on whatever or not they are starters or not

They are starters in those games therefore they count

[brisk hedge]

There is a difference between starting with a Pokémon, and a Pokémon being a starter Pokémon

[coarse viper]

No like..thats flat wrong every starter is given to you at the beggining of the game whatever or not it remains in the party all the way through its entirely the players choice

[rich tundra]

Pikachu and Eevee unfortunately count as starter pokemon as of lets go

Well pikachu already counted but yeah

[brisk hedge]

Every starter Pokémon is given to you at the start of a Pokémon game, but not every Pokémon that is given to you at the start of a Pokémon game is a starter Pokémon

[coarse viper]

You are right Chikorita, Cindaquill and Todotile are not starters then

Because i box them after gym 2

[brisk hedge]

No, they are starter Pokémon

[coarse viper]

Jokes aside you dont Mystery dungeon me here that is a slippery slope

[brisk hedge]

Wether or not you choose to box a Pokémon has no baring on wether or not it’s a starter Pokémon

[coarse viper]

Pikachu is a starter in Yellow before the Lets go game for starters, either way just cause they were introduced before that doesnt make them less starters in their own games

[brisk hedge]

https://youtu.be/o1cvn99Q9uA?si=VcOEcM1TDtYCQPKL

[coarse viper]

imma link a video that agrees with me

[sullen hill]

yeah. but I say that eevee should've been a starter in the gen 7 section (or whatever gen let's go came out) instead of gen 1

[coarse viper]

I am not really concerned with the should I am currently with the Is, and both eevee and Chu are starters in their own games

[mighty robin]

i think hop started with wooloo, then chose the starter weak to the player's choice

[cloud lark]

Technically there are no starters, only First Partner Pokemon

[sullen hill]

https://klipy.com/gifs/correct-futurama--k01KQ05R8XRP4H5ES1GVH3G3KFH

and while this discussion was going on, I filled the thing out for me.

[coarse viper]

Hey Vix you there?

[supple basalt]

I exist

[coarse viper]

Got a question, when you played through Quetzal what difficulty you went with?

Picked very hard but everything is too tanky on neutral damage so just checking on others

[supple basalt]

I think I went on hard difficulty

Though could be on Normal

Idk

[coarse viper]

Hmm thanks

[supple basalt]

Interesting that Shadow Lugia counts

Though ig it makes sense since the Kecleon bros are here

[cloud lark]

It counts Primal Dialga too

[supple basalt]

Oh sick

[sullen hill]

so does shadow mewtwo from pokken dx (gen 6, in both psychic and gimmick)

[coarse viper]

I am more curious about the pair of legs

[supple basalt]

Oh god it's SO weird to see Shadow Mewtwo on that blue-gray color palette I'm so used to the black and gold lol

The palette featured in this video

The fuck is this?

[brisk hedge]

They’re from poke star studios

[supple basalt]

Interesting lol

I don't like that for gen 6 megas aren't exclusive to gimmicks

It looks weird

[cloud lark]

Pokestar Studios was fun. Shame it's probably never coming back.

[brisk hedge]

I miss when Pokémon used to make a bunch of random mini games just because

Now they seem to exclude features just because

[coarse viper]

Fairly easy to make for me tbh

[coarse estuary]

i cant believe i missed 6 sleep powders in a row. how lucky can bianca get

[brisk hedge]

You missed rock, steel and fairy in Kanto and Dragon in Johto

[coarse viper]

No i didnt

They fucking suck

So i didnt pick

[brisk hedge]

So does Charizard, but that didn’t stop you from putting that in there

[coarse viper]

That specific form of Charizard i like

Nothing else tho

[sullen hill]

fairy in gen 4, too

[brisk hedge]

I missed that

[coarse viper]

Yes...again I dont like the options

Soo i didnt pick

[supple basalt]

Honestly several of these spaces I was like "Do I HAVE to pick one =_="

[coarse viper]

Not really xD

[cloud lark]

Technically you don't have to

Like how I refuse to give any Pikaclones any positive reinforcement so I just skipped over that bit

[supple basalt]

Oh I wasn't gonna pick one then I saw Mimikyu in there

"Mimikyu isn't a Pikaclone therefore it is my favorite" - Literally me

[cloud lark]

I guess that works

[coarse estuary]

tbh in any of these charts there is no right or wrong when it comes to skipping or filling in any spots uness you are someone who thinks you have the right to treat people as wrong if they have an oppinion you disagree with tbh

[supple basalt]

Mimikyu isn't a Pikaclone. It isn't electric type and its lore is literally saying it mimics Pikachu if I remember right

[coarse viper]

Yep it saw its popularity and tried to emulate that since its lonely

[supple basalt]

There really is no right or wrong answer tbh lol

[coarse viper]

I like how I got jumped for the empty spots and for picking Charizard but not for picking Mega Starmie

[supple basalt]

Pfft

Imagine if Lycanroc was nowhere on my image

[coarse viper]

Oh wow I miss clicked on Gen 8 ghost I think brb

[sullen hill]

this is mine. (yes, i used the thing to make some of them shiny bc they look nice.
also tried to stay away from legends and doubling up in spots

[coarse viper]

Oh I was looking at Vix list xD

Man I am sleepy

I was like I definetly did NOT pick the bloody horse

[coarse estuary]

exactly. yet some people believe some people can have wrong or right preferences when it comes to favorute games or pokemon or anything

[graceful mirage]

Finally made it to masterball with this team

[finite sky]

hot take most shinies are too uninteresting for me so I never cared about them

[coarse estuary]

not really a hot take tbh. the hot take ive seen around shiny pokemon is people who hunt for them are hermits who cant make friends/have a fufilling life and they waste their game playin time lol

[granite cloud]

gen 2 charizard shiny

why he ourple

[supple basalt]

No fucking way my first classic game since being able to catch etern just hands me a master ball

[supple basalt]

[harsh drift]

Found a shiny in the safari zone of Pokémon platinum.. but it keeps fleeing no matter what option I pick T_T

This is a terrible feeling

[supple basalt]

Rip

[granite cloud]

ball and pray

[granite cloud]

i'm debating whether looking at this list is inspirational or a crime against humanity

[oak hazel]

Hmmm, 8 more wouldn't hurt

[granite cloud]

good god

you've got WAY too many metroid fangames

[sturdy sparrow]

Can a Glimmora take mega charY solar beam?

[sand lion]

252+ SpA Charizard-Mega-Y Solar Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Glimmora: 199-235 (64.8 - 76.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

🥶

(it will die to scorching sands tho)

[sturdy sparrow]

Right scorching sands forgot

[mild dirge]

Gem or Coal idea

[sweet crypt]

It's

An idea

[sleek zephyr]

Welp, I'm bad at PokéRogue, can't deny it.
(But I know this is what to expect for a first try. Losing again, and again, and again.)

[coarse viper]

Oh hell ya I love those colors

[smoky gyro]

What game is that

[coarse viper]

Pokemon Quetzal

[untold moon]

Bonjour, qui joue encore à écarlate et violet ?

[hidden epoch]

Et Nn du coup

[brisk hedge]

#français

[rare breach]

Are there any playable on mobile

[dusk lotus]

Hehe I'm making fakemons for some friends in a Cobblemon server I'm in and this is what I got done so far.

[rare breach]

My uh computer/laptop is kinda damaged rn

[graceful mirage]

Can someone with ZA trade me literally any trade evo. The mable task that is evolve a pokemon from a link trade is the only one i still need for the shiny charm

[supple basalt]

They protected the wrong pokemon like 4 times this match which let me claw my way into winning

[inland crane]

You can run (or at least try) most rgpm/essentials games with joiplay

You can just follow PIF tutorial but get newest version from Patreon instead if you plan to play something else.

For ROM hacks just use a GBA emulator (or DS or switch if you are doing it on those) and a patcher.

[sturdy sparrow]

Good day on champions 6 win streak

[rare breach]

Yes

[lyric basin]

out for walkies

[harsh drift]

I have battled Satan and captured him

Gallade is the goat

Used the timer balls to catch him

[inland crane]

Giratina being called satan after saving world at least twice

[harsh drift]

I mean he is the closest thing to Satan in Pokémon

Apart from a level 1 rattata with endeavor & focus sash ofc

[inland crane]

His trainer is closer

[harsh drift]

Damn 😔

[inland crane]

No not referring the one that caught it in distortion world

[lyric basin]

Just finished Pokemon Z

This stupid game almost made me cry 3 times

[lyric basin]

It got me the fourth time

Please just go play it, it's in a league of its own honestly

[supple basalt]

Spambot really is trying lol

[brisk hedge]

Anyone know how I can track down the creator of the spam bots so I can banish them to the shadow realm

[frank lily]

Machop was caught 2 weeks ago but I forgot to show him off

[sturdy sparrow]

Ok whirlpool is crap but 4 turns it just
You turn 1 your opponent turn 2 ?

[harsh drift]

I have beaten Pokémon renegade platinum

Gallade was the MVP

[buoyant sonnet]

Sorry if not allowed

Does someone know where I can find a 3.0.1 nsp update for pkmn violet emulation?

[sand lion]

on earth

[woeful cosmos]

your right

not allowed

[split yoke]

That's kinda cute

[delicate wasp]

does anyone play unite

[delicate wasp]

pokemon unite

[split yoke]

Used to. It got progressively worse, and eventually, when I'd login, the games were only ever stomps one way or the other.

[delicate wasp]

yes ik

i just kinda wanted to come back to it and just try ir again

[broken temple]

I played it casually like a year ago with a friend
Dropped off real quick

[delicate wasp]

basically me

[broken temple]

We had that joke where one of us will open the app at full volume near eqch other and hearing the main theme is how we innitated a play session

It was quite funny

[delicate wasp]

lol

i can imagine it

[smoky gyro]

Bro what are the odds-

[dull crow]

4%

[smoky gyro]

Worst 4% to be hitting

[sweet crypt]

Game wanted you to lose today I guess

[lyric basin]

if this is about me, im sorry🙏 couldnt shut up about it

[smoky gyro]

Why tf is the only 2 Pokemon that can learn Dragon Hammer both special attackers-

[coarse viper]

Because Game Freak

[supple basalt]

No the spambot was trying across multiple channels to get someone to hack, nothing about you

Automod was working overtime

[lyric basin]

suggestion:

[supple basalt]

I don't know if that would work lol since they come into the channels and send the same message in like 5 different channels. Whatever that is, it looks like it's reliant on sending messages in specific channels.

[mighty robin]

the system we got now is probably best

cuz if the messages get reported and then the account gets reported/deleted, the IF server gets deleted too

[smoky gyro]

Why tf did they go -sp.def

This is aerodactyl btw

Isnt -sp.atk better

[tired vortex]

I'm so upset I don't remember anything about my very first pokemon team. Well my second technically but my first that I made myself. Pokemon x, I know I had a chespin, and probably a Squirtle? But that's all I remember. Maybe also lucario

[cloud lark]

All I remember about my first Pokémon team was it was in a hand-me-down cartridge of Pokémon Red from my big sister and I had a Venusaur with a bunch of HMs cause I was like 5

[smoky gyro]

I have a screenshot of it because I sent it to my cousin lmao

[lyric basin]

putting almost every legendary in a game as a static encounter is so funny to me like

[tired vortex]

I remember my "first" first team but it was from a used black 2 cartridge and that team was on the save. It had a genescect and a pignite

[coarse estuary]

pokemon z is fun i just wish it was longer. it felt so good then was just like oh sorry its over now have to wait

[graceful mirage]

Im furious. I found a shalpha starmie two seconds before the distortion closed. I have the save state but i literally can't seem to catch it fast enough

The pokeball catch animation is too long

HOOPA PLEASE HOLD OUT JUST TWO SECONDS LONGER

[lyric basin]

when did you play it? because the full story has taken me about 50 hours

[coarse estuary]

march of last year. idk if its been updated since then though

[lyric basin]

[coarse estuary]

[lyric basin]

[coarse estuary]

[zenith quarry]

So cute!

[sturdy sparrow]

Was whirlpool nerfed or am I unlucky in champions ?

[winged lotus]

I spent 20 minutes trying to get a golett with a hidden ability in Pokémon white

You can no longer get hidden abilities in Pokémon white

I just wanted my no guard dynamic punch

[supple basalt]

Wait there's no way they removed the ability to get HAs in Black/White

[winged lotus]

You had to get them through the dream thingy

Which got shut down

[supple basalt]

Oh bro that sucks

[winged lotus]

It does!!!

[supple basalt]

Time to play BlazBlack and VoltWhite difficulty romhacks /j

[lyric basin]
